Causes of Truck Driver Negligence

There may be numerous causes of truck driver negligence. These include:

Distracted driving – not paying attention to the road because of cellphone talking, texting, fiddling with the CD player or radio, eating, or other behavior that takes the driver’s attention off the road

Drowsy driving – when a driver is sleepy and unable to properly keep up in traffic, an accident may easily occur

Drugs or alcohol – truck drivers are notorious for ingesting “speed” or other drugs for energy. Unfortunately, this also can cause driving mistakes, lack of judgment, improper reaction time, mistakes in calculating the road conditions, and other problems

Speeding – speeding is one of the most common causes of truck driver accidents

Reckless driving – truck drivers must drive in a manner that is safe for the truck, the road and other motorists
